Match Thread Everton v Newcastle United - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll.

[Joey66]

We need a win or a draw tonight & a win v Leicester, as time is running out for us - Not sacking Lampard after the two Bournemouth defeats prior to the World cup is down to the Board ... it may cost us our premiership .....

It’s not over for us if we don’t win tonight. It will undoubtedly make it much more difficult, but it’s still there.

The teams around us will drop points and pick up unexpected ones. We’ll probs do the same.

A win tonight though would go a long way to boosting the confidence of not only the team, but the fans also.

8 hours remaining of sanity

I don't feel sane.

4:45am kick-off Sydney time. I won't sleep well. I doubt I'll need to set the alarm to get up.

It feels like waiting for the impending news of a death in the family.

Why is our proud club in this dreadful position.

All the best for tonight Toffees - think you can get into 'em and shove it down their throat a bit. Hopefully they'll have a bit of a false sense of security after the Spurs victory

 

[Andy is the King]

I hope some drugged up lid runs on the pitch and snots Anthony Gordon good and proper.

Tonight’s atmosphere is gonna be toxic if Everton go a goal or two down.

Wishing you all the best in this most worthy endeavour.

Can't wait for the season to be over, tbh.

3-1 loss, with plenty of groaning and booing.

UTFT... Or something like that.

We (NUFC) should win this. But I've got an uneasy feeling you're going to frustrate us and nick a set-piece goal. I think as long as the crowd is happy for the score to stay 0-0 and doesn't get on your players backs whenever there's a misplaced pass then you'll have a chance. I'd imagine Everton will start with a good few crunching tackles to get the place rocking.

Should be a tense night for everyone.

Tense?
For the horsepunchers?....you've had a good season compared to the last few and beyond.
Anything more is a bonus.

Normally, playing a team 3rd in the table, I'd happily take a point before kick off.

With the teams arround us picking up wins, I just cant see anything other than us needing all 3 points now, its desperate times. In our situation, a draw will be 2 points dropped.

Understand what you're saying but it will be the manner of the defeat that's important. As long as we aren't humiliated leaving us demoralised we may have enough fight left to overcome Leicester on Monday and leapfrog them.

Its inevitable one of them or both will be in the starting eleven but no godfrey or Keane on the team sheet would be delightful

If we get beat tonight are we relegated?

 

[DualityNSNO]

If we get beat tonight are we relegated?

No mate we'll rely on the universe and other teams to somehow get -5 points per game for the last few and get saved by pure divine intervention.

As has been the case for the last 6-7 games where we've either drawn or lost.

 

[Curtis]

I think after a couple underwhelming performances it's understandable to forget how good we were against spurs at home, If we can keep errors to the minimum and exude some grit and energy we might get something from this game. If we're static and passive for lengthy periods of time the game is doomed

100%

 

[maccavennie]

When we win 24-0 tonight, I urge everyone to not run onto the pitch.

The FA will be itching to null and void our famous victory tonight so PLEASE REFRAIN and stay in your seats, no matter how strong the urge is when Mykolenko rattles in his 4th of the night!

 

[Tommy Chong]

Win win win… Please lads!
